Assessing the change of ultrasonic image and the thyroid volume in Basedow patients

ABSTRACT

The thyroid volume and ultrasonic image of 356 healthy adults and 133 Basedow patients were assessed. The results are as follow Thyroid gland of Basedow patients has low, diffusive echo and no steady border... These volumes are bigger than that of healthy adults (39.18ml+/-19.02ml, n=133 vs 12.06+/-4.07, n=356), p<0.0001.
